| description | In this thesis, I have discussed which (herbacious) perennials that are sold most in
the county of Norrbotten in the upper north of Sweden. Also discussed are the factors
considering overwintering and factors that affect the chances of survival. The reason
to the subject is that I m born and raised in Norrbotten and throughout the years I ve
wondered why so many of the perennial flowerbeds look so similar. The purpose of
the thesis is to give another approach to the composition of the garden by explaining
some of the factors that controls the survival of plants. The information is gathered
partly through interviews with plantshop personnel and partly by a literature study.
The results of the interviews reveal that tradition and hardiness is the major reasons
to the consumer s choice. The results from the literature study discusses Raunkiærs
system of classification, the climate of the county and ends up in the conclusion that
the main reason to why plants survive or not is drainage around the roots. In the
north, the ground freezes to a deep level and it takes good time before it is thawed
completely. When the snow melts in spring a large amount of water is released and if
the ground is frozen still the water has no way to go and remains around the roots of
the perennials which then suffocates or rots. Keeping that in mind, I ve written down a
few things to consider when arranging a flowerbed. |

Jag har i det här arbetet behandlat vilka perenner som säljer bäst i Norrbottens län, hur de övervintrar och faktorer som påverkar chanserna för överlevnad. Bakgrunden till arbetet är att jag är norrbottning själv och har reflekterat över varför det ser så likadant ut i perennrabatterna. Syftet är att genom att visa på faktorer som styr växternas överlevnad förändra utseendet och urvalet i hemträdgårdarna. Informationen har jag samlat in dels genom att intervjua perennförsäljare i Norrbotten, dels genom att göra en litteraturstudie. Intervjuerna visar att det är traditioner och härdighet som styr vad som säljer bäst. Resultaten av litteraturstudien med efterföljande diskussion behandlar växternas olika sätt att övervintra enligt Raunkiærs system. Även klimatet i norrbotten med temperatursummor, nederbörd och medeltemperatur omnämns. Slutsatsen verkar bli att det som främst påverkar överlevnaden hos perenner är om marken runt rötterna är dränerad eller inte. I norr fryser marken djupt och det gör att det tar lång tid innan den tinar upp. När sedan snön smälter är marken fortfarande frusen och risken är att det blir vatten stående runt rötterna på plantorna. Jag har med det i bakhuvudet försökt att ge råd om vad man kan tänka på vid plantering av sina perenner. 2008-01-22 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/12546/1/johansson_r_171025.pdf Johansson, Robert, 2008.
